Merry Christmas and a happy 2025 !

It really is not long now until Christmas is finally here. Many of us might feel they started counting down the days when they can finally shut down their computers, put their out of offices on and let some calm into their lives. the funny thing is - it is on us what we make of Christmas and the holidays - are we joining in in yet another stressful year to achieve some kind of Christmas perfectionism - or do we find time and calm in our hearts to really feel the magic of Christmas. It is our choice.

We do have a choice here. So many of us are longing for that 24th of December or whenever we celebrate Christmas - but what does that really mean to us. Is it just about all the gifts and glitter and food that needs to be cooked ? No for me it is not about that at all.

Christmas is about something else for all of us. Maybe it is about thinking back to what childhood memory where we used to play with toys in the morning or it is about just spending time without any appointments with our loved ones. However, what it always comes down to is this feeling that the works for a few days is on a different pace. Just a few hours of piece and quiet for our souls that can help us to reflect and changes our batteries by spending time with loved ones. This, really is the magic of Christmas.

Many of us don’t see this as commercial businesses are trying to convince us that a lot of other things are way more important on Christmas. However, I really hope you find the time this year to reflect, think back on the year and consciously relax without a phone going off, an email that has to be answered or any other to dos. Take a break and do so consciously for spreading happiness and joy. That’s for me is the modern message of the holidays - and we should learn again to practice it - besides all the hectic and madness around us.

So finish off what there is still to do and when Christmas comes round just enjoy every moment of it in a conscious way.

Merry Christmas and a happy 2025 !
